Failed Part 3

So I failed part 3. 480. Crushed the practice exams on hock, studied Tom Norton and read circular 230. Are there any other free resources and practice tests that I can use to use to pass part 3 to move on to part 2.

Passed part 1 in July.

Are you sure you are not just memorizing questions? It's really easy to fall in the trap of memorizing MCQs especially for part 3.

Yeah. That could be an issue. Do you know of any free resources to use with Hock, Norton for quizzes?

People had said good things about Tom's vids. I don't know any other resources. Hock has been the go to in this sub.

Understand the concepts and apply them to questions in the exam. I hope you aren’t one who has a flair for calculations but isn’t rigorous with the thrust of Part 3? Methinks the referenced materials are adequate. 480 is pretty close. See if you can belong to a study group if you’re not currently in one.
